Study on the application of mild and moderate simple myopia in teenagers treated by acupoint pressing along the meridian combined with Qijiao moxibustion
Objective To explore the application effect of acupoint pressing along the meridian combined with Qijiao moxibustion in preventing and treating mild to moderate simple myopia in teenagers.Methods A total of 30 teenagers aged 10 to 19 years were treated in the Eye Care Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Pharmaceutical University from January to June 2023,among whom there were 16 males aged(14.31±3.14)years and 14 females aged(13.00±2.86)years.They all received acupoint pressing along the meridian combined with Qijiao moxibustion.Acupoints of face,ear,bladder meridian,and governor meridian were selected for point-pressing.In addition,Qijiao moxibustion treatment was performed at Shenque point,3 times a week,every 2 times at an interval of 1 d,for a total of 12 weeks.The uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA)and local ocular symptoms were observed before and after treatment.Paired t test was used.Results Before treatment,the visual acuity of left eye was(4.410±0.220),and that of right eye was(4.373±0.160);after treatment,the visual acuity of left eye was(4.707±0.187),and that of right eye was(4.700±0.137);after treatment,the visual acuity of both eyes increased compared with those before treatment,with statistically significant differences(t=137.549 and 188.652,both P＜0.001).After treatment,the scores of nonpersistence,dryness,foreign body sensation,eye acid distension,and photophobia of local ocular symptoms were lower than those before treatment[(1.367±0.490)points vs.(2.300±0.466)points,(1.367±0.490)points vs.(2.333±0.479)points,(1.400±0.498)points vs.(2.267±0.450)points,(1.167±0.379)points vs.(2.200±0.407)points,(1.333±0.479)points vs.(2.333±0.479)points],with statistically significant differences(t=27.028,26.655,27.603,29.618,and 26.655,all P＜0.001).Conclusion Acupoint pressing along the meridian combined with Qijiao moxibustion can improve the vision of both eyes in teenagers with mild and moderate simple myopia,and alleviate the local ocular symptoms,with significant clinical effect,which is worth promoting.
